[ale] Palm Pre

[brian at polibyte.com (Brian Pitts)]

I thought this [0] was a really interesting look at the linux base of
the palm pre phone.

The conclusion: "There's a few rough edges and some obvious short-term
hacks, but overall the Pre has the appearance of being a well-engineered
distribution. It's recognisably Linux in a way the Android isn't. Since
it seems to be possible to gain root by entering the developer mode, I
suspect that modifying the firmware image isn't especially difficult."
